"Subway" with daemons, in two parts. (It was originally supposed to be a one-shot, then it doubled. As these things do.)

Part one: Cecil wanders into the newly-formed Night Vale subway...and ends up trapped for several years, away from his boyfriend, his daemon, and his home. Being a radio professional, of course, he documents the whole experience on tape. These are those recordings.

This goes with the big long His Dark Materials AU, but you can probably read it as a standalone, too. Just know that Carlos studies Dust, Khoshekh is Cecil's daemon, and Cecil has weird vision, an alethiometer, and a witch's range.

Title is a play on the Kingston Trio's "M.T.A.", featuring the immortal lyrics "Did he ever return / No, he never returned / And his fate is still unlearned / He may ride forever 'neath the streets of Night Vale Boston / He's the man who never returned...."

Summary: A sequel/remix/sandbox-type-thing of sarcasticsra's For Granted. The premise of the original: "Stephen" is living with Jon, but still has this compulsive, self-destructive need to sneak off and have tawdry sex with nameless men in bars.

So, being the cheerful and upbeat writer I am, I decided to write fixit fic!

The poem at the end, like the poem at the end of the original book, is an acrostic. (Alice Pleasance Liddell is the girl on whom the character Alice is based.) Lewis Carroll is the unabashed master of rhyme and rhythm.

I've tried to make all the characters recognizable, but several are never identified by name, and of course some have been turned into animals. If you're not sure about any of them, just ask. Dave Gorman isn't playing two parts; he has a twin brother in real life.
